- Conditions
- Hypertension
- Interventions
- Drug: Fixed-Dose Combination of Amlodipine/Valsartan
- Registration Number
- NCT06625346

- The Searle Company Limited Pakistan
- Brief Summary
The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association hypertension guidelines recommend treatment initiation with dual antihypertensive therapy in adults with stage 2 hypertension (corresponding to grade 1 and 2 in the ESH classification) and an average BP \>20/10 mm Hg above target. Amlodipine and valsartan are two of the most commonly prescribed medications for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). In Pakistan multiple studies were conducted on Hypertension and use of Single Pill Combination in uncontrolled Hypertension. However, no study was conducted to assess the role of Single Pill Combination (SPC) like Amlodipine and Valsartan in newly diagnosed hypertension and to assess their quality of life by patients' satisfaction with their medication after managing the hypertension with the SPC.
- Detailed Description
To assess the effectiveness of EXTOR (Amlodipine/Valsartan) in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in 8 weeks.
* Change from Baseline to 8 weeks in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) From standard Blood Pressure Measurement.
* Change from Baseline to 8 weeks in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) From standard Blood Pressure Measurement.
* Change from Baseline to 8 weeks in the Health-Related Quality of Life of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients managed by Extor: assess by Abbreviated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9)
* Change from baseline to 4 weeks in Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP) From standard Blood Pressure Measurement
* Change from baseline to 4 weeks in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) From standard Blood Pressure Measurement
* Change from baseline to 4 weeks in the Health-Related Quality of Life of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients managed by Extor: assess by Abbreviated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9)
* To assess the overall safety of EXTOR (Amlodipine/Valsartan) in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.
Note: The safety is assessed in all subjects who received at least one dose of study drug.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the effectiveness of EXTOR (Amlodipine/Valsartan) in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients in 8 weeks. 8 week * Change from Baseline to 4 week and 8 weeks in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) From standard Blood Pressure Measurement. The achieve BP control defined as systolic BP less than 140 mmHg at any of their clinic visits and maintained at the 8 week of treatment clinic visit.
* Change from Baseline to 4 week and 8 weeks in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) From standard Blood Pressure Measurement. The achieve BP control defined as Diastolic BP less than 90 mmHg at any of their clinic visits and maintained at the 8 week of treatment clinic visit.To assess the overall safety of EXTOR (Amlodipine/Valsartan) in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. 8 week Safety \& tolerability will assess based on the incidence of reported TEAEs by system organ class ; preferred term, as well as by categories: TEAE, severe TEAE, serious TEAE, drug-related TEAE, drug-related severe TEAE, drug-related serious TEAE, TEAE leading to discontinuation, \& TEAE with outcome of death. Drug-related TEAEs were defined as TEAEs assigned a Study Drug (Extor) relationship of adverse reaction \& suspected adverse reaction.
TEAEs were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, version 19.0. The severity of TEAEs are graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03. TEAEs were defined as any adverse event that started or increased in severity after the first dose of Study Drug on Day 1 through the Final Study Visit (8 weeks +/-3 days after last dose).To assess the Health-Related Quality of Life of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients managed by Extor 8 week • Change from Baseline to 4 week and 8 weeks in the Health-Related Quality of Life of newly diagnosed hypertensive patients managed by Extor, assess by Abbreviated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9). For TSQM-9 questionnaire applies to assesses patient satisfaction with Extor medication including Effectiveness (3 items), Convenience (2 items), Side effects (2 items) and Global satisfaction (2 items). The TSQM-9 score from 01 to 07. The 01 score (minimum) is Extremely Dissatisfied and Score 07 (maximum) is Extremely Satisfied
